1. The Historic Dockyard Chatham Chatham
Chatham Dockyard was a Royal Navy Dockyard located on the River Medway in Kent. Established in Chatham in the mid-16th century, the dockyard subsequently expanded into neighbouring Gillingham . It came into existence at the time when, following the Reformation, relations with the Catholic countries of Europe had worsened, leading to a requirement for additional defences. For 414 years Chatham Royal Dockyard provided over 500 ships for the Royal Navy, and was at the forefront of shipbuilding, industrial and architectural technology. At its height, it employed over 10,000 skilled artisans and covered 400 acres . Chatham dockyard closed in 1984, and 84 acres of the Georgian dockyard is now managed as a visitor attraction by the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust.

Shoulder of Mutton

Pub in Great Bowden Market Harborough

Although this public house is only a mile or two from Market Harborough, when you visit you could be excused for thinking you were miles from anywhere. The charming picturesque village of Great Bowden is a peaceful and unhurried place with a popular hostelry, The Shoulder of Mutton which is an up and coming establishment that is a firm favourite with locals and visitors to the area.
Standing proud on the village green, with its elegant stonewashed exterior, it creates the sort of view that is seen on a picture postcard. The interior of the pub is equally attractive with public and lounge bars, a games area, conservatory restaurant and a large well maintained beer garden to the rear. This makes it a restful place to drink and eat in the warm weather.
